PAT SAYS
I am very sad to hear of the death of Hans Kung.
But he lived a long and productive life and leaves an unforgettable legacy.
I was always a very big fan of his and liked reading his books – even though they were a marathon of a read.
I loved his book “Infallibility”.
I also liked his short book on death and have put it away with a book by the Dala Lama “for when the times comes”.
He has been very badly treated by the Vatican.
Theologians should be allowed to freely explore ideas without being silenced
119 replies on “DEATH OF HANS KUNG.”
Yes he was treated so badly.
I have also just learned that the Jesus Fellowship Church, which always had a dodgy rep, decided to fold because of the groups history. Their statement is here-
https://jesus.org.uk/
Although this move has been criticised as likely leading to less compensation for the church’s multiple survivors, I post it here because RCs here always want to know what is expected by those concerned about the RC church’s ongoing lack of response to its history of abuse.
The JFC’s approach of asking its members, reporting abuse to the police, setting up a redress scheme, a public statement and winding themselves up seems a proportionate response.

Unusually, it would seem Kung was not gay, unlike his contemporary, the old queen JosΓ©phine Ratzinger.

Aren’t you turning a blind eye to his lifestyle? He claimed to be a Roman Catholic priest “in good standing”, but he was not celibate and laid claim to a very lavish lifestyle -including the display of the familiar status symbols of privileged people in modern secular society. There was not the smallest trace of humility in him, and he demanded to be treated as an absolute authority answerable to no one else. In fact, his personality was very similar to that of Adolf Hitler.

@12:11: You are misinformed concerning freethinkers. I will correct you.
A freethinker is one who thinks freely and independently on the basis of reason, not according to any prescribed authority. A hallmark of freethinkers is scepticism of religious dogma: they form their personal opinion and belief based on evidence and reason with no automatic deference to the perceived authority or teachings of religion.
Contrary to your assertion that freethinkers “believe they are right and everyone else wrong”, they simply consistently question religious and other “truths” as alleged by believers, asking the believers to show factual evidence for their truths.
It is in the nature of freethinking, like scientific enquiry, to rejoice at new convincing evidence. Certainly with respect to religion they find little to rejoice at.

Rip Dr. Hans Kung.
The following is an extract from an article titled ” Hans Kung: architect of radical catholicism.”
“The controversy over Humanae Vitae which barred artificial birth control provided the occasion but not the provocation, for KΓΌng to publish Infallible? An Inquiry. Councils, he wrote, are not infallible, but are imperfect and contradictory. The creeds, formed in the fire of controversy, are fragmentary, incomplete, and imperfect. They carry error with the truth. By the application of historical criticism to dogmatic formulation, KΓΌng comes to the conclusion that creeds are not rigid or frozen formulations, but rather βliving signpostsβ. Else he said:
“Definitions and decrees are simply not intended to say everything there is to say about the truth. They are not intended as balanced, detached, learned treatises, but as correction to particular definite errors.”
If the traditional formulations and councils are fallible, where then does one look for authority? βTo the papacyβ would be a natural suggestion as the ultimate appeal for authority, but KΓΌng sees fallibility there also. Vatican I must be understood in terms of the controversy of that time, says KΓΌng. Popes are not the citadel of truth for they have erred and the βPope cannot by any means define arbitrarily or against the will of the Church as a whole; the Pope himself has to be on his guard against schismβ. KΓΌng has called on the pope to admit his fallibility in order to satisfy academic inquiry, silence Protestant criticism, and advance ecumenical life. For KΓΌng, papal infallibility is a political toolβan instrument of power, rather than a theological realityβan instrument of truth.
As a leading force for biblical dogmatics in the Catholic Church, KΓΌng turns to Scripture for direction. He constantly calls for a return to Scripture, filling his books with scriptural citations. βFor KΓΌng, the normative language of faith must always be scripture.β
But KΓΌngβs view of inspiration is not what it may appear. He doubts many of the New Testament passages, but still finds value in them. The Scripture, he says, contains a mass of contradictory doctrines, some of which are false.
If Christians do not have an infallible tradition, nor an infallible pope, nor an infallible Bible, what assurance can they have? KΓΌng answers that they have the church with the promise of Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. Hans KΓΌng believes in the churchβs βindeceivabilityβ (UntrΓΌglichkeit). He has confidence that the Spirit will guide the corporate church along the path of truth, but it will not have the luxury of infallible signs along the way. This UntrΓΌglichkeit guarantees stability and unshatterability; βin brief, a fundamental remaining in the truth in spite of all ever possible errorβ.

About the comment above about why Kung and followers stayed Catholics – after the council there was a real sense that the church was progressing to a more liberal and modern future. This tended to diverge considerably from what was coming out of Rome and has only really been studied in terms of the liturgy.
You get hints of this in the way after the council many men entered the priesthood in the full expectation that celibacy would be abolished shortly. There are also hints in the subsequent relations with Rome of liberal dioceses in the US or Holland.
To cut to the quick, even after JP2 became pope there was an expectation in the liberal camp that the progression would continue. By the time they had hung on for years it was too late for many. People also get themselves into enclaves of their own views, where they can kid themselves things are going their way.
